Globmin was a centralised admin management system we used on The BORG Collective's servers. It worked together with the Globan system to form a semi-unified centralised administration system for numerous gameservers we were running at the time.

 

The project consisted of three components:

 

- Web frontend

A web panel written in PHP used by head administrators (complete admin management), server administrators (password management) and users (admin listing & permission checking).

 

- Linux daemon

Deployed on the gameserver hosts. Its function was to maintain synchronization between the web database and local admin list (two way communication).


- AMX Mod X plugin

Only some minor customizations to the default plugin were needed to get it functioning.

 

Due to synchronization overhead (bandwidth problems) the project was phased out (together with Globan) till a rewritten unified administration system (Unicluster Core) could be deployed. This did not happen however, owing to massive reduction of servers under our management.
